Baby Products Reviews of Safety 1st Tot-Lok Four Lock Assembly
Customer Review: Absolute Best Child Lock
Summary: 5 Stars
I have installed these at more than one house (complete cabinet sets). It should be noted that I am highly qualified for the installation task so it was not problem. Installation does involve drilling one 1/4" hole part of the way through the cabinet and the you may also want to drill tiny pilot holes for the four mounting screws. Door thickness is not generally a problem as they do have adapters for varying thicknesses. My children are now grown and I no longer use them, but my review still stands.
The locks are high quality, they cannot be opened without the key. They are strong, and do not allow anyone to open the cabinet even a little (when properly installed). Best of all they have an unlock lever so you can set them to unlock when the children are grown or not around.
Customer Review: Good locks for occasionally used cabinets
Summary: 4 Stars
We have several different type of locks we use to baby proof. These magnetic locks are very good about protecting little fingers and really keeping the kids out. However, we chose not to install them on all the cabinets because of the little magnetic opener. Our preschooler thinks its fun to take off with it, and if we store it somewhere out of reach, it takes way too long to open the cabinet to just get out toothpaste or whatnot. In the kitchen, you can store the opener high on the refrigerator, but again, you must retrieve it every time you want to open something.
We use these locks on some of the high-risk, low-use cabinets we have. These include cabinets that store chemicals or sharp items like knives. Overall, a good product for the right place.
Customer Review: No Toddler's Home Should Be Without These
Summary: 5 Stars
So many new parents buy the plastic latch locks, not knowing that a better alternative exists! The Tot-Locs install in the same spots on cabinet doors and drawers that the plastic locks do, and in almost no time at all... you don't need to keep screwing and unscrewing the locks to line them up, like with plastic latches. Plus... the Tot Locs don't pinch your fingers when you're trying to open the door or drawer. They don't break. And they don't allow toddlers to drop little things like Cheerios or tiny toys into the cabinets via the gap plastic latches allow. There is no gap with Tot Loc... it's all magnetically sealed! Just keep the opening magnetic on your stove hood or on your fridge (out of baby's reach) and you'll be set for a baby and toddler safe house!Customer Review: Mother Of Houdini II
Summary: 5 Stars
My son was able to figure out how to open all the other locking systems we used EXCEPT this one. Yes, it WAS more expensive than the others but to me it is well worth the extra money if it works properly and keeps little ones out of the cabinets and out of harms way. Yes, the directions were hard to understand at first, but once I took the time to carefully read them they made sense. I also suggest you take the directions to a copier and have them inlarged, it makes them much easier to see that way. A tip I got from my sister was to put the lock on the bottom of the microwave if you have one over the stove. It keeps it out of reach of the kids yet handy enough for you to get to in a hurry.Customer Review: great locks
Summary: 5 Stars
Our toddler has figured out how to open other locking devices that we have but these ones keep our cabinets secure. They are easier to install then other brands that I've tried. I like the fact that they can be disabled on a permanent or temporary basis by flipping a simple switch -- you don't have do remove all of the locks if you decided that you no longer need them. The only trick with these locks is to remember to keep the magnetic key in the same place all of the time. I'd recommend having two keys around in case one is misplaced. My only complaint is that they are more expensive than other locking devices -- but they work well and are worth the extra expense.
